## Abstract

A motor case assembly includes a shaft and a motor case. The shaft has a connection end formed with a groove. The motor case has a perforation for assembling and connecting with the shaft. A hub section protrudes a rim of the perforation and has a forced outer face and an inner face surrounding the connection end and the groove of the shaft. An external means is used to apply an external force to the hub section so as to make the hub section tightly hoop the connection end of the shaft. By means of the external force, the inner face of the hub section is partially intruded into the groove of the shaft to form an intrusion body connected with the groove under a top wall inner face of the motor case. Therefore, the motor case and the shaft are securely connected with each other without easy detachment.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A motor case assembly comprising:
a shaft having a connection end, the connection end being formed with a groove and a lower section, the lower section being positioned under the groove; and
a motor case including a top wall, the top wall having a top wall outer face and a top wall inner face, the top wall being formed with a perforation for assembling and connecting with the shaft, a hub section protruding from the top wall inner face along a rim of the perforation, the hub section being in communication with the perforation, the hub section having an outer face and an inner face, the outer face being perpendicularly connected under the top wall inner face, the connection end of the shaft being inserted in the hub section and the perforation, whereby the groove is positioned under the top wall inner face corresponding to the inner face of the hub section, an external means being used to apply an external force to the outer face of the hub section so as to make the hub section tightly hoop the connection end of the shaft, by means of the external force, the inner face being partially intruded into the groove of the shaft to form an intrusion body connected with the groove under the top wall inner face, the inner face further having a lower tight hoop section positioned under the intrusion body for tightly enclosing the lower section of the connection end, whereby the motor case and the shaft are securely connected with each other.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The motor case assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the motor case has a circumferential wall downward extending from an outer circumference of the top wall, the circumferential wall and the top wall together defining a case body space.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The motor case assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection end is solid and has a top face, the top face being flush with the top wall outer face of the motor case through the perforation.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The motor case assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the groove is a U-shaped annular groove disposed around an outer surface of the connection end.
